This drive is permanently mounted. The files on this drive may well not be owned by a user/group on the local system. 340.noid kicks in weekly as it should and finds a whole lot of files with an unknown user and/or group. I have set the periodic.conf variable weekly_noid_dirs to include all root level directories except for /mnt. I then ran it to test it. This flags two directories which didn't show up on last nights report: # ./340.noid Check for files with an unknown user or group: /usr/compat/linux/var/lock /usr/compat/linux/var/spool/mail $ ls -ld /usr/compat/linux/var/lock /usr/compat/linux/var/spool/mail drwxrwxr-x 3 root 14 512B Apr 18 13:30 /usr/compat/linux/var/lock drwxrwxr-x 2 root 12 512B Feb 6 1996 /usr/compat/linux/var/spool/mail Why did these not show up last night? Is it something to be worried about? Cheers. -- Tony
